Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois
shoplifting
Say a sales person asks to see what is in your pockets, and they don't find what they suspecte. After you've left the property and the town, and they viewed the security tape and saw you shoplifting (2 small, pointless $5.00 rings from a teenage jewelry store), can you still be arrested ?

Re: shoplifting
Of course. You stole the items. You should be prosecuted. Those $5 thefts add up for stores.
